Palin: this is no time for "hand holding" with democrats -we must stand tall on our principles

FoxNews - On The Record with Greta Van Susteren ^ | March 28, 2010 | Palin interview transcript

[ETL]

PALIN: "We don't want our Republican -- our senators and our representatives to hold hands with the Democrats if the Democrats are going to keep growing government. And why -- why engage in bipartisanship there if the Democrats are doing the wrong thing? We want our Republicans to stand tall, stand strong for smaller, smarter government, for those principles that so many independents and those in the Republican Party have believed in all these years. We want them to stick with those principles."

Then I really wish she’d unwrap her slender little digits from around McCain’s stubby little thumbs!

Transposition in title. Palin = Pailn

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," March 26, 2010. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

As with a previous thread, this is also from Friday night, March 26, some further remarks to Greta after the joint interview with Juan McCain.

Sarah is the right person at the right time. The country needs her desperately!

[ETL]

Thanks. I just asked the mods to correct the typo.

Sarah McPalin has lost her way. Maybe she was just a politition all along.

She has done a lot of damage to here standings with her comments about McCain and the TEA party having the same goals.

Someone needs to have her read McCains statements about how he views conservatives.

[glorgau]

Sarah is supporting McCain because he’s the guy who got her on the national stage. It’s called loyalty and it’s a beautiful thing to behold.

PALIN: "We don't want our Republican -- our senators and our representatives to hold hands with the Democrats if the Democrats are going to keep growing government. And why -- why engage in bipartisanship there if the Democrats are doing the wrong thing? We want our Republicans to stand tall, stand strong for smaller, smarter government, for those principles that so many independents and those in the Republican Party have believed in all these years. We want them to stick with those principles."

Seems hypocritical in the current context of her enthusiastic endorsement of the king of bipartisan hand-holding with Democrats. Wouldn't you say?

[Frantzie]

The title says “hand holding” does this include McCain’s “reaching across the aisle?”

The only time McCain “reaches across the aisle” is to stab a conservative Republican in the back.

[EternalVigilance]

It’s called loyalty and it’s a beautiful thing to behold.

Not if loyalty to an individual trumps loyalty to principle. Then it is an ugly thing to behold.

[Balding_Eagle]

ALERT!

The poster Eternal Vigilance often posts on the Palin threads. What most of us have not known is that he is Chairman of a competing political party, and as such, has a vested interest in seeing Sarah Palin diminished.

A discussion with him is not an ordinary back and forth seeking the truth, his bias is to see Palin losing and his guy gaining traction.

Here is an article how MCCain and Graham-nesty gave islamic terrorists Constitutional rights. Is that a beautiful thing to behold?

http://article.nationalreview.com/429488/the-mark-of-mccain/andrew-c-mccarthy

“That is what Senator Graham did in 2005. Along with Sen. John McCain and other grandstanding Republicans, he gave cover to the Left’s “torture” demagoguery by spearheading enactment of the McCain Amendment. Under the rubric of “cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment,” that provision vested alien enemies held overseas with constitutional rights against coercive interrogation.”

Freudian perhaps...

Sarah is no lieing and selling her soul in her support of McCain. She could have said she would support him if he gets the nomination. If she owes him something let her write him a check, not sell herself in such a crass manner.

Prostitution is still prostitution no matter what you may like to call it.

Saying McCain holds the same values as TEA Partiers is an out and out lie! McCain holds conservatives in distain. ANd by extension so must Sarah McPalin.

Ask McCain to have his daughter speak about Sarah at one of his events with Sarah.

[wardaddy]

it ain’t beautiful to me...it’s Godawful but to be fair she joked about him as an original 200 year old tea partier

not sure she said they shared goals

cause they sure as hell don’t

[wardaddy]

you don’t like her anyhoo EV...unless she endorsed Alan

[EternalVigilance]

Actually, she said exactly that to Greta:

VAN SUSTEREN: Now, when you're on the campaign trail, everyone sort of agrees with everyone on the same issues. Now the campaign is over. The election is over. Are there some issues that you and Senator McCain have a respectful disagreement about?

PALIN: The point here is that Senator McCain and I agree on the big picture, where it is that the country needs to go.

[stockpirate]

I wonder if she also thinks Obama is not dangerous to our country like McCain?
